The Foreign Office have issued a warning warned about claims that Dubai could be targeted by missiles from Yemen

The FCO has issued new advice over travelling to the country as a result of missiles being launched from Yemen into neighbouring Saudi Arabia.

The statement reads: "In 2018, numerous missiles have been launched into Saudi Arabia from Yemen, the vast majority of these have been intercepted and destroyed but there have been a small number of casualties.

"Claims have been made in public media suggesting that there may also be attempts to target missiles at the UAE.

"In the event of any incidents, you should monitor local media reports and follow the advice of the local authorities."

Dubai is currently engaged in a diplomatic spat with fellow Middle Eastern country Qatar and tourists are also warned against speaking in support of the Qataris on social media.

The UAE authorities have announced the suspension of diplomatic relations with Qatar, with all air and sea points of entry between UAE and Qatar closed on June 6 last year.

The following day, it was announced that, "showing sympathy for Qatar on social media or by any other means of communication is an offence. "Offenders could be imprisoned and subject to a substantial fine."
